Form 23 – Application for Direction to LLP to Change its Name
About Form 23 for LLP
Form 23 is a legal application filed with the Registrar of Companies (ROC) to seek a direction
against a Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) to change its name. This is typically used when
an LLP’s name is identical or too similar to an existing business name or registered trademark,
leading to confusion or potential infringement.
